A SOLUTION TO UPGRADING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Train refurbishment and modernization can cause significant challenges for train operators. This article's focus is on upgrading information systems to modern standards. Train owners recognize the need for reliability, durability, ease of use, comfort and security provided by the system they select. One of the variety of on-board communication systems currently available is LON-based communication that offers a flexible, time saving and cost efficient route. In refurbishment projects, easy installation of new communication systems reduces cost significantly. At the same time, LON-based systems are prepared for future expansion because of their modular design.
